The Blue Lagoon

For those cliff divers amongst you this will be a very familiar place, for the rest of us this is the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy, not Iceland. It's man made, having been a quarry once, which is now flooded by the sea. In 2012 it was one of the locations for the stages of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. If anyone is interested, it's happening here again this September. Just in case you fancied a go?

We walked from our cottage along the coast to this hamlet and back again today. A great coastal walk, with dramatic scenery and plenty of wildlife. But as yet we've not seen a seal, and I'm still hoping for a sighting at some point this week. We did see a mating pair of Green Tiger Beetles, which I did get rather excited about. My photos didn't turn out very well, but I have bravely added one as an extra.
